(6,130 posts)that had taken place at her home in the complex where she lived and George Zimmerman lived just added weight to the idea that George was determined to catch the person who did that crime. She had discussed the situation numerous times with Zimmerman and apparently was one factor in his decision to form a Neighborhood Watch.
Don't try to tell me that he didn't have an axe to grind with Trayvon that night. He saw Trayvon, became judge and jury and ultimately the executioner. While his "fighting skills" may have been lacking, he figured the equalizer was the 9 mm gun on his hip. He followed, confronted and then bit off more than he could chew. So he pulled out the gun (or already had it drawn) and shot and killed Trayvon.
Everything that happened flowed from the decisions George Zimmerman made that night. From the moment he started following Trayvon, discussion with the police department on what he should do and then the decision to get out of the car.....EVERYTHING hinged on what he did. If he had stayed in his car, waited on the police to arrive and just gave them the information, Trayvon would still be alive and George Zimmerman would not have had his life upended by his behavior the night of Feb. 26, 2012. Yes, Trayvon may very well have punched George in the nose and fought with him. If he had not gotten out of that car, confronted the young man, NONE of that could have happened.
I hope the jury has the good sense to reason it this way.
